"Underrated" power: Another pillar of China's digital economy development

Release time : 2023-12-25

Since 2023, the hot AI has ignited the computing power industry chain. At present, computing power has become a key productive force in China and a new kinetic energy supporting the high-quality development of the digital economy.

However, it is worth noting that AI is not only ignited by computing power, but also the demand for supporting capacity is rising sharply. Recently, six departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the Action Plan for the high-quality Development of Computing Infrastructure, proposing that by 2025, in terms of storage power, the total storage capacity will exceed 1800EB, and the proportion of advanced storage capacity will reach more than 30%.

The plan also points out that storage product manufacturing enterprises are encouraged to continue to improve the level of independent research and development and manufacturing of key storage components, and create an industrial ecology in which storage media, memory chips, storage systems and storage applications promote each other and develop in synergy. It can be said that storage power, computing power and transportation capacity together form the core base of the digital economy. The power of one of the three pillars of the digital economy, which has been underestimated until now, is increasingly in the spotlight.

The underrated Power

As one of the world's largest computing power markets, China ranks second in the world in terms of total computing power, but there is a low utilization rate problem, resulting in a general computing power utilization rate of only ten percent, which is actually the problem of unbalanced development of computing power and storage power and transport capacity. According to estimates, China will become the world's largest data volume country in 2025, but the public data shows that the proportion of storage and computing power, the United States is currently 1.1, China is only 0.4, storage has a great impact on the utilization rate of computing power, especially advanced storage is crucial to the full release of computing power.

According to the data, if the computing power, storage power, and transportation capacity are efficiently coordinated, the efficiency of an AI computing power center may be increased by 50%. At present, many developed countries have taken the science and technology involved in calculation, storage and transportation as the frontier of innovation, and invested heavily in development.

As a key indicator to support the era of big data, storage is a crucial data infrastructure in the data industry, which has attracted widespread attention in society. However, it is still necessary to see that there are still many problems in the development of data storage.

On the one hand, the limited storage capacity can not meet the growing demand for the total amount of data, and the problem of "no storage" of data is becoming increasingly serious. On the other hand, the data storage efficiency is difficult to meet the real-time requirements of data applications, and low-level storage schemes cannot match the requirements of rapidly developing storage scenarios.

Under the current national digital economy strategy, massive data is growing exponentially, data flow is accelerating, and power is a "short board" at the wooden barrel end, which has restricted the high-quality development of the current comprehensive computing power, and the advanced storage that fully meets the market demand and is efficient is receiving attention from all parties.
